Rubina Dilaik should win Bigg Boss 14

Rubina Dilaik has emerged as the most powerful competitor on Bigg Boss 14. From standing up to Salman Khan to setting unbreakable relationship goals with Abhinav Shukla, here's why she deserves to be the Bigg Boss 14 champion.

Evicted contestants have been reintroduced to the show as "challengers," while a "proxy" participant has taken the place of a contestant who walked out on Bigg Boss 14.

Rubina Dilaik has remained a constant throughout the season, despite being "rejected" by seniors Sidharth Shukla, Gauahar Khan, and Hina Khan in the first episode. She is the only top-five contender who has lived her whole life in the Bigg Boss kitchen, with few ties to the outside world.

While Rahul Vaidya was one of the original participants, he walked away at Bigg Boss 14's mid-season finale and returned knowing how to read the crowd. Producers brought back Aly Goni, who sacrificed himself to save best friend Jasmin Bhasin, and another original competitor, Nikki Tamboli, who was ousted due to low ratings, and both had a similar edge. Rakhi Sawant, on the other side, joined Bigg Boss 14 two months after it debuted and knew just who to cling to in order to keep fans interested.

Here are five reasons why Rubina, often known as "sherni (lioness)," deserves to win Bigg Boss 14 on Sunday:

Rubina Dilaik competed in the show with her husband Abhinav Dilaik. They've had their share of ups and downs on the show, including significant squabbles. She stood beside him like a pillar of strength when it mattered most. When Kavita Kaushik accused Abhinav of sending her "violent" letters many years ago, Rubina stood by him. Rubina rushed to Abhinav's help when Rakhi made moves towards him and gave her a piece of her mind.

Rubina was offended when host Salman Khan said Abhinav was her "saamaan" (baggage). She told Bigg Boss that the joke was demeaning and that she was prepared to leave the program if she and her husband were not appreciated. Every episode of Weekend Ka Vaar has also been dominated by her.

Rubina has always remained true to herself, refusing to form alliances just for the sake of the game. She clashed with her best friend when she thought Jasmin was wrong. Rubina also spoke out about her marriage troubles with Abhinav and a time when she was suicidal on Bigg Boss 14.

Rubina has a beautiful heart and, even when on a mission, she never loses sight of what is right. Rubina requested that Rakhi change inside the Bigg Boss house since she had peed her pants during a mission, despite the fact that it would cost her a few units and put her team at a disadvantage in the job. Nikki wailed in the smoking room after being admonished by Salman, pleading with Rubina to leave her alone or her reputation would be tarnished, which she denied. Rubina made it clear that Nikki's well-being was more important than what others thought of her. Read more about Bigg Boss 15.
